Dear Editor – Education has become, for better or worse — mostly worse — one of the two or three major foci of Political conflict. As an object of Political controversy, the disease is now overwhelmingly gnawing its way to the rural level. No longer, is Education a priority for some fairy-tale fathers. For although…
Dear Editor – The article no 5407 on Monday 20th January 2014, written by Steve Sae truly challenge our preconception by saying that, nowadays Solomon Islands is soaring hugely into unemployment. There are some very important points where Sae raised. If the government does not take serious consideration to tackle the issue of unemployment in…
Dear Editor – I refer to various correspondences and commentaries by the Leader of the Opposition, the Member of Parliament for North East Choiseul, some lawyers and the general public here and overseas regarding the former Attorney General Julian Moti.

Dear Editor – It is very sad indeed for the country that national governments have come and gone over the years, yet one person remains a permanent feature of the national leadership circles. His name is Dominic (whatever). It seems that in the Prime Minister’ office, this person can be whoever he wants to be,…
Dear Editor – The central island police at Tulagi are not doing their duty. Many serious cases have been reported to them but no arrest had been taking place or even writing the reporter’s statement, but instead verbal only. I wonder why and what is going on in the office of the PPC commander with…
Dear Editor – I read with great interest from the Solomon star issue No 5412 Saturday 25 January 2014. The commissioner mentioned that Correctional Services of Solomon Island is now leading the region in terms of rehabilitating inmates. What a Joke! As some who knows what’s going on in there, I would say the rehabilitation…
Dear Editor – Counters 4 & 5 at the Treasury are no longer carrying out any of the other services they normally provide as they succumbed to the extraordinary pressure of SICHE/SINU students’ demand to resolve academic transcripts issues. Relevant responsible authorities in Finance should go down there and rescue the situation now in danger…
